Subject: [PATCH] CI: retarget dead pre-libstdc++-11 jobs to Ubuntu 24.04

openmethod requires <charconv> (cxx17_hdr_charconv), which libstdc++ only
provides fully from GCC 11 / libstdc++-11. Clang on Linux uses the system
libstdc++, so the floor is the image, not the front-end.

The GCC 8/9/10 (Ubuntu 18.04/20.04) and Clang 7-12 (Ubuntu 20.04) jobs ran
on libstdc++ < 11: the requires-clause failed and they silently executed
zero openmethod tests. Consolidate them onto Ubuntu 24.04 with its default
toolchain (gcc-13, clang-18); GCC 11-14 and Clang 13-18 already cover the
intervening versions. ARM64/S390x stay on the 20.04 multiarch image with a
bumped g++-14. Net 38 -> 31 pipelines, no duplicates, no lost coverage.
